I can change him she said
Her name is Monica
She planned to change her last six beaus
Did her best too
None of them changed
Her optimism is applaudable
But not contagious
Wouldn’t it be easier to date a beau she does have to change?
They say it's in the wind
restless teases and taunts that seasons are in flux
an escape out of the summer's endless rush,
hush now, if you listen close
you might hear the trees as they host
a last farewell to the flow of this year;
it's a catchy phrase, barely audible
in the blend of fall color palettes applaudable
yellows, oranges, crimson reds as leaves have fled,
they hurry now, rushing into the harvests of October gusts
nature has her schedule as each season must
as spring's summer closes the account trust;
see the skies, the blues on grays
as life proceeds on, fall begins to slip away.

Stand up for the human rights
in them are true godly lights
without them there is no right whatsoever
but fear, anxiety and satanic fever
in them are roots of wisdom forever
these days are times of trouble
don't panic and rubble
into tempest strays of cowards
for humans must remain shepherds
this in itself is applaudable
virtuous life is boundless
like an ocean it is endless
blushing is the color of virtue
but vice is as naked as a statue
be good for something trendless
